NOTE: This episode is dedicated in memory of Yuko Mizutani, voice actress who passed away May 17, 2016, at age 51. Yuko was acting as Ikuko Tsukino.

Yuko Mizutani

Yūko Mizutani November 4, 1964 – May 17, 2016) was a Japanese voice actress, actress, singer and narrator from Ama District, Aichi. Throughout her life, she was attached to Production Baobab; she was attached to Aoni Production at the time of her death. Mizutani was best known for her roles of Sakiko Sakura in Chibi Maruko-chan, Mihoshi Kuramitsu in Tenchi Muyo!, Ikuko Tsukino in Sailor Moon Crystal, Soten in InuYasha, Sora Takenouchi in Digimon Adventure, Cheimin Noa in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and Pinoko in Black Jack. Mizutani was the official Japanese voice actress for Minnie Mouse; she also voiced her in the Kingdom Hearts franchise.

On May 17, 2016, Mizutani died as a result of breast cancer at the age of 51.

Ikuko Tsukino is the Earth mother of Usagi (Sailor Moon). She is often seen cooking and lecturing Usagi for her grades in school; still, they are shown to be pretty close, since she gives Usagi advice on relationships of all kinds from time to time, and eagerly accepts her relationship with Mamoru. She cares for Chibiusa when she is present, whom she believes to be her niece, but who in truth is her future granddaughter. She also cares for Chibichibi, whom she believes to be her second daughter. Ikuko's name and design are modeled after Takeuchi's mother.

In the original Japanese series, Ikuko is voiced by Sanae Takagi in the first anime and by Yuko Mizutani in Crystal until her death in 2016

This was good episode about the world problems but had some drawbacks

So my rants which I hope you take with a grain of salt

1. Erased / Re Zero can go back and reset like Concrete did.But with more jumping around time frames and a big cast it gets confusing especially this episode.And it loses impact which is sad becuse I get what tgey are trying to do but falls short.

2.America gets blamed for toxic fuel / not like we are a major cause of greenhouse gases but come China leads the way.BTW arent the Japanese asking for help with the disputed islands not that they were land grabbers in WWII.However the Japanese govt ias also viewed as evil against the Superhumans.

It's interesting that who's good or evil is bluured like the Superhuman cafe. It reminds of the cafe in Star Wars

Intersting how the Middle eastb is brought with Giant Robots . I know a lot wont remember the Oil crisis of the 1970's

Kumamiko -Girl Meets Bear EP 9 / Commercial NW

Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide

Yoshio come up with a commerical to promote the village using a sick farmer ( wanted to be a director) and Machi who is relectant to star, A shady deal to get noney to pay for it from the lacal clock and eyeglass store whuch turns out more about the store than the village.

The end is near and let me just say that this has been a solid season so far. Some shows started a bit slow but most of the ones I'm watching are really all cranking it up now. There is one clear front runner for AotS and that is Re Zero; I'd say it's an AotY candidate but we're not even halfway yet and I learned my lesson with ERASED. That ending is pivotal.

However, Ushio to Tora has really made a strong run that I need to acknowledge. And Concrete may have refound some of what might it great in its first half. The moment when all the pieces line up.

Assassination Classroom EP 43 / Trust Time EOW / Close to Perfect

Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide

DISCLAIMER / My peronal thoughts on this episode / series not an expression of anybody else / I wont debate at all ! This is my thoughts.

This was about close to a perfect episode if thtre ever was . Who would have thought from S1 oh this looks like fun to watch became life lessons / friendships etc and oh my what a final season it just doesnt let down. This wiil be one of my Top 5 all time Favorite anime if not my most favorite.

Covered VOL 19 / School Attendance Time

CHPS

161. Pride Time ( Not in Anime )
162. A Time for Memories ( 90 % or more covered )
163. Decision Time ( one or 2 panels skipped but dead on )
164. Confusion Time or Mayhem Time ( really accurate! )
165. Perfect Argument Time ( Press Part was accurate but previous assassinans rounded the Class up and argue with head of defense )
166. Perplexity Time ( Unlike the anime the Claas is held in a detention center [ imstead of home } with Karasuma objecting but still scolded the class but gave away the defenses around the school )
167. Trust Time ( Koro at school is accurate but Irina visits the students and kiise them giving them their tools to escape the lat Panel is accurate with them in the Camo suits and the 3 hour deadline!)

So they have 4 EPS left to do13 CHPS avg 3 / I think this wiil be good and not much culled now ! Rwally CHP 161 was Karma/ others going against some bullies yes it added to their resumes ( they are beyond ta street dustup. and not story critical so it was a good choice.I think changing the confinement to home was important because the Press would be saying unlawful detention . I know it's debatble but I think was a good edit .Remember Karasuma had that no harmclayse would come to the students.Pretty sharp to recall that by the writers and making the anime make sense.

The entire class got into their top 2 choices of High School including Nagisa thru a vaccany got into his first choice.

Koro has just one request ( task ) to make a yearbook. 30,000 Pics The students edit out A lot of ?? pics . Koro wanted a 10,000 page yearbook.

But wait he takes the class aroudf the world for more pics.

A nice moment with Ngisa and Sakura who needs to pass one more test but has scary thoughts but Nagisa uses his blade to calm her down

Nagisa wants to be a teacher !

Karasuma asks Koro to make the yearbook educational and himself admits he has grown . But he calls to say Koro is alone.A space weapon fires on the school "Spear of Heaven"

Koro barely escapes but another tool The Permeable Laser Barrier which prevents his escape! "Shoeld of Earth"

The Class is used by the Govt / Press saying they were victims.Karasuma takes The Class into protective telling them time was up

The Class is pretty upset both the Govt and Karasuma as besides the Assassination there was unfinished school business

Nagisa though remembers what Karasuma said "If I ever have a hard time I'd Trust you without hesitation" So it was a feint by Karasuma he had to play along.

Koro is the best even in a dangerous situation he cleans the school for graduation. Even if he has to die he wants to see the Class one last time.

What a great ending rollout with their Plans . And Koro still working on the Yearbook.

KIZNAIVER EP 9 / "It's All Over......I Think" NW

It was an OK episode For having a Sci-Fi Tag on it there really is very little . And Having watched Lost Village / then dropped LV of which both written by Mari Okada whose work in the past has been ??
I think the bigger problem there were cocurrent ideas running from Lost Villsge to KIZNAIVER. Doing two major works in one season is too much IMO and both suffered.

Now the KIZNAIVER's got all hurt because thet were forced to display their emotions. You could say there are wimps selfish but let life take it's course. Kinda reminds me of Psycho- Pass. The i to blame going too far!
